Advertisement Fireworks over Europe: trails of objects burning up in the Earth's atmosphere could be seen in the sky over several European countries. It was presumably debris from a Falcon 9 rocket from the US space company SpaceX. Anzeige Several larger pieces of debris came down in Poland, as a video published on the social media platform X shows. The phenomenon could also be seen over Denmark, Sweden, and the UK. In Komorniki near Poznan, for example, a tank measuring 1 by 1.5 meters was found, reports the BBC. An identical piece was found in the neighboring town of Wiry. An investigation is required The Polish Space Agency POLSA did not want to commit itself to a classification. POLSA spokeswoman Agnieszka Gapys told the British news agency Reuters that it could not be ruled out that the object in Komorniki was part of a Falcon 9. “A proper investigation is needed to confirm this.” The rocket, the remains of which burned up over Europe, was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in the US state of California on February 1. The plan was for its second stage to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere in a controlled manner over the Pacific. Read also
